Kathleen Quinlan and The Isadorables: Green Black Blue

We are thrilled to announce the return of Kathleen Quinlan and The Isadorables this Wednesday evening, May 3rd, for a performance that beautifully complements Joakim Allgulander's exhibition, Green Black Blue. Kathleen will speak as well about her work with "In a Living Tradition", dancers and musicians in timeless harmony. 

 

 

Kathleen Quinlan comes from New York and was educated at the Boston Conservatory of Music, Boston Museum School of Art and S.U.N.Y. Purchase, and has been living in Stockholm since 1987.

 

She was a soloist in Anna Sokolow's dance company in N.Y.C. and is foremost in the world in the Isadora Duncan tradition. Kathleen had a close friendship with Anna Duncan and also inherited Duncan's entire archive and belongings, which among other things enabled two exhibitions of Isadora Duncan for Dansmuseet Stockholm. As a choreographer, Kathleen has worked with dance, theater and Opera in New York and Paris. In Sweden and Denmark, she has toured with pianist Roland Pöntinen in a tribute to Isadora. Since 1989, she has collaborated with Ika Nord as a choreographer in her performances. Kathleen has also taught in Isadora Duncan's tradition at the Academy of Dance in Piteå, the Ballet Academy, and the Royal Swedish Ballet School.

 

“Choreographer Kathleen Quinlan handles humor and tenderness with subtlety. She has a stripped bare style, and hides behind an apparent simplicity and a very rigorous research of movement and expression.” Marie-Ann Lacour, DANSE CONSERVATORIE PARIS
